Thickfreakness


The Black Keys finally take their long awaited bow on CCM
From 2003 Thickfreakness is the second album from Akron, Ohio duo Dan Auberach and Patrick Cairney
It is on the Fat Possum label so you know that you are going to get some deep raw Blues and that it is going to be good.
Mostly recorded in a 14 hour session in Patrick Cairney's basement using an early 80's Tacam 388 8-track recorder primarily because they had already spent the advance they received from Fat Possum on rent,
Rock'n'roll!

  1. Back when the Black Keys were good. The last couple albums have been rubbish, and the pair of them don't come across as being particularly likeable.

    1. Haven't heard their latest stuff Robster. Looks like it's best avoided

  2. ....that's a fine variety of music this week. Funky, bluegrass, pop, americana, blues. And some of the songs have been pretty good. Apart from that from my fellow Dundonians

    2. until your post, I'd never heard of it. And if Danny Wilson (the band) are a typical, then that's a big "não" as we say round here
